Trailer Summary Season Five
For a short overview about the upcoming Season 5 watch the extended Trailer
Methods of Art (MOA) is a series of video interviews with contemporary artists from a wide range of fields, backgrounds and formations. The series explores core questions of „art making“ and the methods in their artistic production. A set of ten central questions aims to approach this matter from different angles:
The ten resulting videos of every artist add to an archive that makes the number of different approaches, concepts, strategies, methods, ideas and understandings visible and simultaneously points out zones of overlapping.
MOA was created by Johannes M. Hedinger (Zurich/New York) and Torsten Meyer (Cologne) as a pool of video-based education materials for the integrated use of current media technology in blended learning scenarios. Since the beginning in 2013 it became a growing archive with currently over 300 videos of 30 artists from Austria, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Mexico, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and USA. The videos are used in the field of art education and art research; in 2015 a first exhibition with material from MOA was installed in Hong Kong at the Connecting Space, a second will follow at the 3rd Ural Industrial Biennale of contemporary art in Ekaterinburg (Ru).

* 1955 in Bern, is a Swiss flutist, living in Stäfa/Switzerland. He is specialized in contemporary music for various sizes of flute. His original works for these instruments feature numerous extended techniques. Ziegler is also proficient with jazz and improvised music, and frequently performs in an electroacoustic setting. He amplifies his flutes with microphones installed directly into the instruments, and utilizes electronic loop devices to allow him to layer sounds. Ziegler has toured with Andreas Vollenweider and George Gruntz, and performed with Pierre Favre and Mark Dresser. In a classical context, he was formerly the solo flautist for the Zurich Chamber Orchestra. Concert tours have brought him to the US, Japan, Australia, South America and Israel. Many recordings on CD document his inclusive musical interests. Matthias Ziegler teaches at the Zurich University of the Arts.
